Split the Mountain to Save Mother (Part One)
"Boom!"
A figure descended; he was burly and had a cold, stern face.
"Yang Jian, hand over the Spirit Pearl."
The god's voice was devoid of any emotion, and he didn't even give Yang Jian a chance to answer. As soon as he finished speaking, he formed a sword with his right hand and slashed it at Yang Jian from afar.
A purple sword aura instantly tore through the void, slashing towards Yang Jian.
The destructive power contained in this sword strike made Yang Jian feel threatened with death.
He roared, forcibly squeezing out the little power left in his body, activating the spirit pearl to protect himself, and at the same time wielding the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Halberd to block with all his might.
"Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing against metal Yunxiao. Yang Jian was blasted a thousand meters away by the terrifying force, and he felt his internal organs churning.
With just one strike, the difference in skill was immediately apparent.
The divine general remained expressionless, took a step forward, and his figure appeared before Yang Jian like a ghost, unleashing an attack like a raging storm.
Yang Jian gritted his teeth and pushed the power of the spirit pearl to its limit.
Each clash of weapons triggered a violent energy explosion, leveling the surrounding mountains and tearing the earth apart with spiderweb-like cracks.
Yang Jian deliberately created an opening, taking a heavy punch from his opponent, breaking several of his ribs instantly.
Using the force of the impact, he spun around and swung his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Halberd upwards.
At the same time, the spirit pearl was activated by his divine sense and transformed into a stream of light.
The god was about to unleash his power when he felt the space around him freeze.
For Yang Jian, even a fraction of a second of delay was enough!
"Now!"
The blade of the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Halberd pierced the opening, and the chaotic power contained in the blade tip suddenly erupted!
"Puff!"
For the first time, the indestructible divine body of the Sky-Supporting Divine General was pierced, and the violent chaotic power raged wildly within his body, destroying his meridians.
He let out a muffled groan, staring incredulously at the wound on his chest, and kicked Yang Jian away.
"What a Yang Jian... what a Primordial Spirit Pearl..." The Sky-Supporting Divine General's face was pale as he gave Yang Jian a deep look.
Without saying another word, he transformed into a bolt of lightning, swept up the remaining heavenly soldiers, and vanished into the sky in an instant.
After the battle, Yang Jian could no longer hold on. He knelt on one knee, coughing up large amounts of blood.
He glanced at the dimly lit spirit pearl in his arms, then looked towards Peach Mountain in the distance, his resolute gaze unwavering.
He quickly treated the wounds of the Howling Celestial Dog, swallowed a pill to recuperate, and then stood up again. Dragging his exhausted body, he continued walking step by step toward the place where his mother had been imprisoned.
This is where his mother, Yao Ji, is imprisoned. He can sense that the restrictions covering the entire mountain are like an endless spider web, with each thread containing terrifying power enough to annihilate a Golden Immortal.
"Brother, this restriction is too strong."
Kang Anyu's voice was solemn, "It is not a single seal, but a chain of hundreds of God-Locking Array, each linked to the next, so that the whole thing is affected by the movement of one of them."
Forcibly breaking the formation will only trigger a backlash from all the Array Formations simultaneously, at which point... we won't even have a chance to escape."
As everyone pondered, their hearts sank deeper and deeper with the passage of time.
Hope is right before our eyes, yet it seems so far away.
Yang Jian slowly closed his eyes, shutting out all the noise from the outside world.
He focused all his attention on it, and saw the spirit pearl emitting a faint light in sync with his heartbeat.
He abandoned the brute force approach and instead began to perceive things in the most primal way.
At first, the power of the spirit pearl melted instantly upon contact with the restriction, just as ice and snow melted under the blazing sun.
But Yang Jian did not give up. He tried again and again, his divine sense nearly collapsing under the repeated impacts, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Just when he was about to give up, something unexpected happened!
When the aura of the spirit orb touched a certain node of the barrier light screen again, it was not instantly annihilated as before.
Found it!
Overjoyed, Yang Jian forcibly suppressed his excitement and focused all his attention on gathering the power of the spirit pearl into a single beam, guiding it towards that node.
Buzz!
A soft buzzing sound rang out, and everyone present perked up.
They saw that on that indestructible golden light screen, an inconspicuous point rippled outwards like water.
"There's a chance!" Kang Anyu exclaimed.
"Now!"
Yang Jian suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with a sharp light. "Brothers, lend me a hand!"
Without needing to say more, the Six Monsters of Mount Mei instantly unleashed their strongest power.
Six distinct streams of demonic power, guided by Yang Jian, crashed towards the constantly rippling node.
With a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth, the seemingly unbreakable golden light barrier was torn open, leaving a gap as tall as a person!
Golden fragments of divine power scattered and flew everywhere, and violent energy turbulence erupted from them.
"Quick! The restriction is self-repairing!" Kang Anyu roared.
Without the slightest delay, led by Yang Jian, they transformed into seven streaks of light and rushed into the gap like lightning.
The moment they entered, the gap closed up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, it was back to its seamless state.
The interior of the mountain was not a cave as one might imagine, but rather a dark and desolate isolated space.
The air was filled with an atmosphere of oppression and decay. Thick golden chains extended from the void in all directions, binding a figure sitting on the central stone platform.
"Jian'er..."
Yao Ji's voice was hoarse.
"Mother!"
Yang Jian's eyes were bloodshot as he charged forward like a madman, his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Halberd flying from his hand, slashing fiercely at the chains.
However, the clash between the blade and the chain only produced a series of dazzling sparks; the runes on the chain flowed freely, yet the chain remained completely unharmed.
"It's no use, these are the God-Locking Chains..."
Tears welled in Yao Ji's eyes as she struggled to raise her hand to touch her son, whom she longed for day and night.
Yang Jian threw away his long sword and rushed forward without hesitation, wanting to embrace his mother.
Just as his fingertips were about to touch the hem of Yao Ji's dress, another unexpected event occurred!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The entire space trembled violently, and golden portals of light opened up around them out of thin air.
The next moment, Heavenly Soldiers and Generals and generals clad in golden armor and wielding divine weapons surged out of the gate of light like a tide, their murderous aura soaring to the sky and their divine might overwhelming.
The leading divine general, with a cold face and a voice as icy as ice, said, "Yang Jian, you have trespassed into forbidden territory with the intent to abduct a serious criminal from Heavenly Court. Your crime is compounded! Surrender and we may spare your life!"
PS: This chapter is coming to an end. The next chapter will be "The Investiture of the Gods Calamity".
The author says: This book has flopped, but I will continue writing. I have already started a new book, which has been updated to over 20,000 words so far.
Let me promote my new book:
Book Title: Primordial World, Luohu Becomes a Goddess, Hongjun Goes Numb
Story background: Li Tian travels to the Primordial World era, during the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, and awakens a system, only to discover that the system is the manifestation of the Primordial Dao.
However, the vast and lonely Primordial Dao led him to develop a playful spirit and nurture the protagonist.
During the training period, instead of being a human, Li Tian is given a gender-transformation card that can turn Primordial World god into a woman.
With no seats available, the beautiful Ms. Luo was naturally the first victim.
The new book has many plot points and far fewer flaws than this book. There will be some collaborations with Chu Feng later on. Everyone is welcome to support it and give it a bookshelf. The author would like to express his gratitude.
